Not sure it's really an Ichneumonidae though.
The shape of the head with two white stripes on the back of it, the slightly upward curved ovipositor (if that's what it is) and the wings sort of wrapped arud the body looks quite distinctive, at least to me :)
Can any ID be made?

Size: ~12mm (or a little more)
Date: 21 July 2009
Location: On wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)
